BariClip
Instructions for BariClip:
BariClip is an innovative technique that reduces stomach capacity without invasive surgery. It's for individuals with moderate obesity (BMI 30-40) who haven't succeeded with conventional methods. Also suitable for those with contraindications to traditional bariatric surgery.
Procedure:
A clip is placed around the stomach via endoscopy, without incision or staples. This creates a smaller gastric pouch, limiting food intake. It also alters hormonal signals regulating appetite and satiety, promoting lasting weight loss.
Results:
BariClip leads to an average of 20-30% excess weight loss in 6 months, up to 50% in a year. It improves quality of life by reducing obesity-related comorbidities like diabetes, hypertension, cholesterol, and sleep apnea.
Risks vs. Traditional Bariatric Surgery:
BariClip is less invasive and risky. Complications are rare and minor, including nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, or infections. It's reversible, preserving stomach anatomy. Discuss potential risks with your surgeon.
Hospitalization:
Hospital stay is 2-3 days under general anesthesia. Follow post-op dietary and physical activity guidelines for optimal results.
